This will bring up the context menu, pictured below left. The following options are available:
Illustration 3: Context Menu
• Select All Selects every file in the current folder. Pressing
it again will deselect all.
• Rename Allows you to change the name of the file.
• Delete Allows you to remove the file. Beware, XBMC
does not have a 'recycle bin', so once deleted, a file is
unrecoverable.
• Copy Will copy the selected file or folder to the location
open on the right-hand side of the screen. Note that you
are unable to copy or move files TO network shares, but
you are able to copy (but not move) them FROM the
network shares.
• Move Will move the selected file or folder to the location
open on the right-hand side of the screen.
• New Folder Will create a new folder.
• Calculate Size Displays the size of the currently selected
folder.
Managing files/folders on SMB-shares
You can manage files and folder on Windows File-Shares just as you would with local shares, as long as you have
the correct permissions for that share.
The Web Interface
The XBMC Web GUI control-interface uses XBMC's built-in WebServer to allow you to control certain aspects
of XBMC via a remote web-browser on the same network as your XBMC, (e.g. from your computer). If you
would like to use this XBMC Web GUI, then the HTTP-server must be activated in the XBMC Network Settings.
Once activated, the XBMC Web GUI control-interface can be accessed by pointing your browser to http://
followed by the actual IP-address of your Xbox.
Once you are connected, you will see a number of options including: My Music, My Videos, Music Playlist,
Video Playlist, and playback controls, most of which are self explanatory. When you're adding files to the
playlist, you can click the name of the file to begin play immediately, or you can click the Q next to the file name
to add it to the playlist (queue).
You can also change some settings and create, delete, or edit sources using the web interface by using the links at
the top of the window.
